Just a night in Santa Monica

Very small boutique room decorated. Very cute, bathroom wasn't impressive though, shower is very tiny and dated, no on-site parking

It was a pleasant stay and lovely experience staying at Hotel Sea Blue Hotel. The main attraction of this hotel is it near to Santa Monica pier. This hotel has there private access to Santa Monica beach. Hotel is located at very hotspot area and very easy to access Santa Monica beach.

Michael, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This is a great spot. Hotel was clean and well maintained with cute decor and nice bedding, but clearly quite old. The bathroom was clean and good except very small, shower stall especially. But I highly recommend as a great value and so close to everything. Staff very nice and responsive when a fuse blew and tv went out one evening
